PFR was a TAG. Everyone else was LAG or LP.

If the PFR was a TAG, why did you call his raise? Just doesn't seem like solid play...
On the other hand, I love the call, 3-bet. You really tied everyone to their hand and are building a huge pot. You must have some bear information about the guys behind you to make the PF call.

Re: PP 15/30 flop a monster
 

After this flop and a bet and a raise before me i might just call instead of 3 betting. I would do this to make my raise worth more on the turn (if a bet and a raise after me i would expect one to lead out and bet on the turn). Am I right with this logic?

PF is fine. There was a caller before, a poster and loose-passive table. I knew at least one or two more would come along and if I hit a nice flop I'd take down a big pot.

I'm not sure about my flop 3-bet because it pretty much announces, "I have a monster."

The call-3bet is almost always a monster, and occasionally a monster draw. I guess I'd probably just checkraise CO on the turn.

I really don't think PF is fine. I think it's pretty bad, actually. Your relative position sucks, you've got J9s, which needs a lot of players on average, and you're very likely to flop a drawing hand with J9s, as opposed to a made hand -- which means you'll usually be drug along to the river with bad position to raise/trap bets from the field.
